Search With
Clarity and Intent

CB & Associates approaches high-touch recruiting as a strategic process, not a transactional one. The firm works closely with clients to understand the business need, define the leadership gap, and shape the search around the outcome that matters most. That means senior-level attention, targeted evaluation, and direct communication from the start of the search through the hire.

I recently worked with Cindy as she was looking to fill a position and had such a wonderful experience. She was professional, courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, and it was evident that she truly loves her job. She helped me navigate the interview and offer process and I couldn’t be happier – both with the experience with Cindy and my new position! Working with Cindy was such a pleasure, and I would highly recommend her services! Thanks for everything, Cindy!

Brand Manager

Lindsay L.

I met Cindy through the local PIHRA chapter after being laid off from Driftwood Dairy. I feverishly sent out my resume letting everyone on the planet know I was searching for new opportunities. Cindy contacted me and shared that she was interested in submitting my resume for the HR Director position with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. I was excited when I met and interviewed with the President/CEO and even more excited when I was offered the role. I have been with the Food Bank for almost 16 years and Cindy was God-sent to help me land the job of a lifetime. Since then, Cindy has helped the Food Bank with other roles and shared great industry expertise. Thank you, Cindy, for all you do, congratulations on 25 years! Keep doing what you do best!

Cindy is one of the best recruiters I have ever known. As a Human Resources manager, I relied on her expertise for over 20 years, and today, I am proud to call her a friend. Cindy's honesty, warmth, and genuine care for people have always stood out. Throughout my career as an HR practitioner—from Manager to VP in the manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution sectors with companies like CalComp, Springs Industries, and Vans—Cindy was an invaluable asset. She consistently made me look good by bringing in the right people, even before the era of the Internet!
